1/2 cup extra firm tofu, cubed (125g)
1 medium carrot, diced (61g)
1/2 medium onion, diced (55g)
1 stalk celery, chopped (40g)

1 cup vegetable broth (240g/ml)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp smoked paprika

PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils and set aside. If using dry lentils, cook them in water until tender, then drain.
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add a splash of water or a tiny drizzle of oil if desired, then add the diced onions, celery, and carrot. Sauté until they soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and spices: ground cumin, ground turmeric, and smoked paprika. Stir well to coat the vegetables and release the spices’ aroma.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the cooked red lentils, chickpeas, and cubed tofu. Allow the stew to gently simmer for 10-15 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot and enjoy this hearty, nutritious stew perfect for any meal of the day.
